About

Sol del Sur is the jewelry line by
Chilean designer Soledad Proaño. She is heavily influenced by native South
American aesthetics. Soledad designs jewelry that’s not strident, it exists as
beautiful and humble simultaneously. Her brand aims to represent richness in
the small details, which is something many native cultures from around the
world also share.

Her collections, crafted with
textiles, leather and metal, are stylized and minimalist, while full of emotion
and significance. They are tributes to her life and experiences in South
America and the United States, to being Latina and speaking English with an
accent. But each design is also a celebration of the planet, of beauty without
stereotypes, of diversity in fashion, of architecture and all the shapes around
her. And Brooklyn, where she is now based.

Sol del Sur was born in 2009, and
since then has grown to be sold at reputable stores such like the Museum of
Fine Art in Boston, Macy’s and Anthropologie.com. All her pieces are made by hand in her studio
in Bushwick, Brooklyn.
